Chapter 106: Big Money Explosion

"Suit yourself!" Li Nianlong couldn't control other people's thoughts. "As long as you don't regret it."

"I've had too many regrets in my life, one more won't make a difference." The woman had truly come to terms with it. Perhaps only a woman like her, who had experienced ups and downs, could let go of everything!

After a moment of silence, Li Nianlong asked, "You've been talking about that man all along, what about your family? Over these years, what about them..."

Li Nianlong fell silent, for the woman had started crying again.

Knowing he had said the wrong thing, Li Nianlong didn't offer words of comfort. Instead, he just held her tight, occasionally applying pressure to certain acupoints that could help relieve her emotions. After a little over a minute, the woman stopped crying, wiped her eyes, and took a deep breath. "They're all dead... When I was fifteen, they were riding a tractor on a mountain road and they fell off. They all died."

"Sorry." Li Nianlong couldn't think of anything comforting to say.

"It's okay, it's been over ten years." The woman's eyes were a little red as she chuckled softly. "I don't know what's gotten into me today, I've been crying so much, it's been years since I cried like this."

"It's understandable to show true emotions." Li Nianlong spoke softly.

"I don't have any true emotions left. Now, I'm just living a life of pretense every day." It seemed she remembered something and hurriedly explained, "But my feelings for you, little brother, are absolutely genuine, without a hint of pretense."

Li Nianlong smiled faintly, kissing her lips. The woman leaned into his embrace, her face filled with contentment.

"You mentioned earlier that you were leaving..." After a moment of silence, Li Nianlong asked softly, "What happened?"

"It's nothing major." The woman's expression sank slightly, forcing a smile. "His business has expanded. He went abroad to expand his business a few years ago, and these past two years, he's established himself in Switzerland. He plans to immigrate. He called me last night and asked me to join him. We'll be living in Switzerland from now on."

"I see." Li Nianlong finally understood the situation. He smiled wryly, "Sister, you scared me just now. I thought something had happened to you! Turns out you're immigrating! That's good news, we should celebrate."

"Maybe." The woman's smile wasn't entirely genuine. "Going abroad is good, the environment in Switzerland is much better than here, and once we're there, I won't have to spend every day alone."

Another moment of silence passed. The woman smiled faintly, gently disentangling herself from Li Nianlong's embrace and picking up her bag. From it, she took out a bank card and turned to face Li Nianlong. "Little brother, you're skilled. Working for others will never compare to being your own boss. Over these years, I've saved up some money. There's half a million in this card. It should be enough to rent a shop, do some renovations, and start a business. With your skills, you could recoup the costs in a year. It would be better than now."

After speaking, the woman handed the card to Li Nianlong, smiling faintly. "Don't refuse. This is my last wish before leaving the country. If... I mean, if, if I ever come back in the future, I'd really like to see your massage parlor and be massaged by you again."

Li Nianlong closed his eyes, silent for a moment. When he opened them again, they were filled with determination.

Returning the bank card to the woman, he spoke firmly, "Working here was just a passing interest for me. I've never had the idea of opening a shop. It's not because I don't have money. If it's about money, I could even buy up this whole street. Take this card back, and don't come back to the country. Even if you do, you won't see me."

The woman seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. Her face turned pale. "Little brother..."

"Don't call me little brother. You and I are just playing a part in each other's lives. We both have our own lives. After we part ways, don't think about each other anymore. It'll only cause trouble if you do." Li Nianlong was resolute, showing no mercy to the woman.

The woman stood still for a long time, then chuckled bitterly, put the bank card back in her bag, got dressed, opened the door, and left the massage parlor in a daze.

Li Nianlong didn't try to stop her. He silently wished her well in his heart: Forget about me, and your future will be better. I hope you find happiness.

"Hey! Don't leave, you haven't paid yet!" Li Zao's roar came from outside the door.

Li Nianlong: "..."

That night, Li Nianlong received a text message from the woman. It only contained two words: Thank you.

Seeing the message, Li Nianlong smiled faintly and deleted the woman's number.

Standing on the balcony, looking at the night sky, it was dark and windy, perfect for murder.

In the early morning, in a villa in the western suburbs of Tianfu, Li Nianlong stealthily made his way through layers of obstacles and successfully entered the villa. According to the intelligence provided by Shao Meiyun, this villa was harboring sixteen mercenaries hired by international organizations.

The reason for targeting them first was because they might be carrying a large number of firearms. Once any accidents occurred, their threat and uncontrollability would be the greatest.

Li Nianlong made a round of the villa and found that there were many surveillance cameras. Except for the toilet and bedroom, every other place was under full surveillance. Fortunately, Li Nianlong's stealth skills allowed him to remain completely invisible. The villa's security was also tight on the outside but loose on the inside, and he easily discovered the situation of the entire villa.

The villa had three floors. A large number of firearms were stored in several suitcases on the third floor. There were four black men playing cards in the living room on the first floor, and one person was resting on the second floor. There was one person in the monitoring room on the third floor, four people outside the villa, and the intelligence said there were a total of sixteen people, but there were only ten here.

Where did the other six go?

After pondering for a moment, Li Nianlong decided not to pay attention for now. He quickly came to the door of the monitoring room on the third floor.

Feeling the conspicuous dark energy inside, Li Nianlong squinted and took out his Meteor Chasing Moon Bow. He used the Meteor Chasing Moon technique again, and a qi arrow pierced through the wooden door, hitting the monitor's head squarely.

"Experience +300, because the opponent is notoriously black, an additional three times experience reward, experience +900. Obtain item: Pen Pistol ×1, money 1000."

Having grown accustomed to receiving tens of thousands of experience points on the training ground, Li Nianlong no longer felt anything when he received several hundred or thousand experience points. Instead, he found the newly acquired items quite interesting.

Pen Pistol: Damage +50, specialized for espionage, extremely discreet, easy to carry, suitable for assassination.

It looks like an ordinary silver pen, but when the pen cap is removed, a black barrel is revealed, containing two specially made bullets. Its damage is only 50, and it must hit a vital point to be lethal. It requires high accuracy, which Li Nianlong happens to excel in.

After putting away the items, Li Nianlong took out the flying knives he had recently purchased and returned to the first floor. He used the skill "Plucking Flowers and Leaves" to launch four flying knives in rapid succession. The four black men playing cards didn't even let out a scream before they were struck in the head, falling to the ground dead without a sound.

"Experience +350, experience +350, experience +350, experience +350, due to the notorious black status of the opponents, an additional five times experience reward, experience +1750, experience +1750, experience +1750, experience +1750, obtain item: Night Vision Goggles ×4, obtain money 4000."

Night Vision Goggles?

Li Nianlong found it quite fresh. How did these four black men end up carrying night vision goggles? Perhaps it was because they were so dark that they were afraid of not being able to see each other at night, hence the need for night vision goggles?

After thoroughly searching the four black men again, Li Nianlong found over a dozen different bank cards and a large amount of cash on the table, totaling over 350 million soft sister coins. This made Li Nianlong inhale sharply in surprise. Mercenaries really were loaded.

Now, there was only one person left on the second floor of the villa. Li Nianlong disposed of him casually. He was rather useless and only had a red name. He reluctantly rewarded Li Nianlong with 100 experience points, but he did yield a USB drive.

USB Drive: Seems to contain a lot of confidential information.

"Let's see if cousin can make use of this." Putting the USB drive into his inventory, Li Nianlong thoroughly searched the entire villa. He swept away all the firearms, and from the unfortunate duo on the second and third floors, he found over 200 million in wealth.

Li Nianlong couldn't help but feel impressed. This was what it truly meant to strike it rich!

After finishing the looting, Li Nianlong sneaked up to the roof of the villa. Outside, four black men were blending seamlessly into the darkness. Even with Li Nianlong's exceptional eyesight, he almost couldn't spot them.

Taking out his Meteor Chasing Moon Bow, he once again used the Meteor Chasing Moon technique. Currently, Li Nianlong's true qi value was at 696 points, allowing him to consecutively unleash six Meteor Chasing Moon arrows. With the additional recovery rate of 1 true qi per second, he could unleash seven in total. It was too easy to kill four mercenaries.

The four mercenaries were instantly killed without a chance to react. Li Nianlong obtained 7700 experience points, four night vision goggles, and 4000 soft sister coins. But tasting the sweetness of looting corpses, how could Li Nianlong let go of these four bodies?

Before long, his money inventory increased by over 60 million soft sister coins. Even so, Li Nianlong cursed them for being poor: "Serves you right for freezing outside."

Poor mercenaries, losing their lives, getting their bodies looted, and even being cursed. Truly... karma.

Li Nianlong didn't leave immediately. He patiently waited inside the villa, honing his mastery of the Artisan of Body Technique. Finally, at 3:30 in the morning, Li Nianlong awaited the arrival of a commercial vehicle. As the doors opened, six white youths disembarked.

"Something's not right!" Just as they got off the vehicle, the six individuals felt something amiss. "Where are the perimeter guards?"

Swish swish swish swish swish swish—

Six consecutive sounds of breaking air rang out. Accompanied by the sound of six heads bursting, the six white youths fell to the ground, dead without a clear cause.

"Experience +250, experience +250, experience +250, experience +250, experience +300, experience +300, due to the opponents' notorious black status, an additional four times experience reward, experience +1000, experience +1000, experience +1000, experience +1000, experience +1200, experience +1200, obtain item: Desert Eagle ×6, obtain money 9000."

"The host has made unremitting efforts, and the level of the Archer God has once again been elevated, now reaching the Master level. As a special reward, strength +5 and speed +10."

"No monetary or experience rewards again!"

Li Nianlong complained, "Is the Archer God destined to be a poor man's profession?"
